Hardcover book of 419 pages, indexed. This work is based on the premise that general theories oin archaeology must relate to general conditions of human experience in nature and therefore that theories explaining patterns in human behavior and cultural evolution must be grounded in studies of human ecology and cultural systems. The several studies in this book explore specific subject areas about which strong uniformitarian assumptions may be warranted and which, therefore, may be especially provocative and productive for future theory building. The areas chosen include the archaeological study of faunal remains, the human use of aquatic resources, the anthropological study of the human organization of space, and the study of systems in and for themselves.
